What Oscar R. Dizon says about his artwork:
My paintings are done in my studio, based on photographs I take during vacation travels. If needed, I complement these photos with simple sketches and notations. Precise drawing is very crucial in my work to achieve the goal I set after careful study and planning. Contrary to the established way of watercolor, I reverse the procedure by starting at the main focal point, working with intricate details, and I do the background last. I want to be pleased with the initial result, and work with inspiration and enthusiasm. I use a one-legged metal drafting table that swings in either direction. Sometimes I work on the painting right-side up, and sometimes upside down. This gives me a different viewpoint from which to see more details of the are I am working on.
